Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States
One word: STUNNING! You have made this lily picture into a grand portrait (I think in the photo hiearchy, this is a good thing...) worthy of framing and hanging in some significant place.

@Viewfinder: Thank you very much, VF... and I wasn't sure about this shot.
Michael Rawluk from Prince George, Canada
Stunning is the word. The light is the important element here, but the shadows intensify that light.

@Observing: Thank you.

Wizened Eye from United States
Ooo-la-la, Betty! Another nice macro. I prefer these background colors to the shot with the red rose (hey, I guess maybe I'm just not a fan of red roses!), and love the shadows here.

another beautiful shot in this series - I like how you are using different backgrounds and lighting to create different moods. I think I like yesterday's the best (so far!!). Keep up the great shooting.

Earnest from Oklahoma, United States
This is the angle I'm striving for in wildflowers this year as I have the straight-on shots already. I like it very much.

@Earnest: You'll get it... more difficult I would imagine with wildflowers, this flower was in vase! Thank you.
